Description
Three simple, high-protein breakfast recipes designed for busy mornings: Chia Seed Pudding, Avocado Toast with Egg, and a Green Protein Smoothie. Each takes less than 15 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or dairy/oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh or frozen berries (strawberries/blueberries)
- 1–2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 large egg
- Red pepper flakes
- Sea salt and black pepper
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 cup water or milk
Instructions
- Chia Seed Pudding: Mix chia seeds, almond milk, honey, and vanilla in a jar. Whisk well, let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours. Top with berries before serving.
- Avocado Toast: Toast sourdough bread until crispy. Scramble egg in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Mash avocado with salt and pepper. Spread avocado on toast, top with eggs, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
- Green Protein Smoothie: Add spinach, frozen banana, protein powder, almond butter, and liquid to a blender. Blend on low then high for 30-60 seconds until smooth. Adjust consistency with more liquid if needed.
Notes
For chia pudding, double-whisk to prevent clumping. For avocado toast, toast bread first to ensure it stays crispy. For smoothies, add liquid to the blender first to help blades catch ingredients evenly. Avocado toast is best eaten fresh; chia pudding stores for up to 5 days.
